December 14, 2009 (CHICAGO) --Chicago police are canvassing the area where 12-year-old Jahmeshia Conner's body was found late last month.On Monday night, officers handed out fliers near 63rd & Ashland asking for the public's help in identifying who might be responsible for Conner's death.
No arrests have been made in the case but investigators hope somebody may have seen something suspicious in the neighborhood and will come forward with information.
Conner went missing in November. Her body was later found in an alley near 63rd and Ashland.

Commander J.J. Adams and his crew have been dispatched by Earth to discover what happened to a colony of settlers on the planet Altair-IV. There are only two survivors of the ill-fated expedition: Dr. Edward Morbius and his young daughter Altaira, with the rest of the party having been KO'ed by an unseen force. Morbius isn't one to have Adams and his crew stick around, and urges them to leave. However, the invisible menace returns, and with it some unanswered questions about what Morbius really knows.
Five years after THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL hit theatres, FORBIDDEN PLANET came along to kick the genre up a notch. The film was considered ambitious for its time, relying heavily on special effects to help further the story. Plus, there was still that whole thing about sci-fi films not being taken as seriously as other genres. I mean, the film was released in the same year as EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, IT CONQUERED THE WORLD and the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. Granted, BODY SNATCHERS was able to get remade (twice), but the cheese factor still permeated the genre until Robby The Robot came along.
Nowadays, when you look at FORBIDDEN PLANET, it's easy to pass its design and special effects as being dated. But back then, this was some truly landmark stuff. Not many films back then could boast being backed by a major studio company in MGM, and get the budget that we now take for granted in sci-fi films. Heck, spending $125K alone on Robby took balls, but man, the results were one of most iconic robots in sci-fi history. It's not just all about Robby, either. From the numerous matte paintings and optical effects contained in the film, this was really STAR WARS before George Lucas even had the inkling of doing his epic franchise.
Even back then, of course, anyone with a brain could see that special effects couldn't drive a movie (especially in those days), which is why the story and acting had to be top notch. And by Garfunkel, they were. Rather than descending into B-movie schlock, FORBIDDEN PLANET set the tone for every Star Trek episode with a serious story that was accessible to everyone. If you took out the science fiction elements, the story is basically a retelling of Shakespeare's The Tempest. The whole notion of responsibility with great power is one that can be put into any type of film, so why not a film involving lasers, robots and forcefields?
As for the acting, everyone played this seriously and without the ham that one would expect from 1950's sci-fi. Leslie Neilsen (yes, the same guy who starred in the NAKED GUN films), Walter Pigeon, Anne Francis, and Warren Stevens all give a strong performance that only makes the film stronger. Topping it all off is the landmark all-electronic score by Louis and Bebe Barron. And while the legendary theremin wasn't used in the score (unlike the score for THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL), this was still something to be heard, and probably Academy Award-worthy had the duo belonged to the Musicians Union.
So while some of the effects don't hold up today, and those less-informed will pass this off as another B-movie from the 50s, FORBIDDEN PLANET is more than that. As I said, the film set the tone for Star Trek years before the show first appeared. And really, every science fiction film that followed FORBIDDEN PLANET owes the film in some way or another. If it weren't for Robby, you wouldn't have C-3PO or R2-D2, or THE TERMINATOR, or CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND. So with that out of the way, do you owe it to yourself to see the film? Undeniably, an emphatic yes.
Video: The film underwent restoration for its 50th anniversary in 2006, and the Blu-Ray only enhances the spot-on job pulled off by the DVD release. This 1080p 2.35:1 widescreen transfer is a sight to behold. Granted, there are a few white specks here and there, and some scenes (particularly with the optical effects) are softer than others, there is still a great amount of detail to see. On top of that, the colour palette is top-notch, as the film practically pops off the screen. Great job!
Audio: Like the transfer, the audio has received a wonderful upgrade in the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. It's not going to blow you out of your seat, mind you. This is, after all, a 50-year old film. That shouldn't be a deterrent, as the audio is crisp and clear, without any distortion or hiss. Much of the audio is concentrated in the front, with the directionals getting some work. Overall, this is a perfect companion to the restored picture.
Thankfully, all of the extras from the superb 2-disc DVD and HD-DVD sets have been ported over to this disc, save for the additional trailers for other classic MGM DVD releases.
Starting things off is a quasi-sequel to FORBIDDEN PLANET in the feature-length film The Invisible Boy. This is a kid-centric film that involves a boy named Timmy, whose father is a programmer working on a government-owned computer containing all human knowledge (yeah, it's 50s sci-fi). Timmy's dad tries to use the computer to enhance his son's smarts, which it does. This enables Timmy to beat his dad at chess, and then assemble Robby, who was apparently brought back from the future in pieces by a wacky mad scientist who worked for the government agency before he died (don't ask). Timmy and Robby team up to turn Timmy invisible, and then more hijinks ensue. While not in HD, the transfer still has pop to it, and is relatively clean.
Following that is an episode of The Thin Man, which ran for two seasons and starred Peter Lawford and Phyllis Kirk as the detective duo of Nick and Nora Charles. This particular episode, 'Robot Client', again has Robby involved, this time being owned by a "Doc" Niles and being accused of murder.
MGM Parade has Dr. Morbius himself, Walter Pigeon, promoting the film in two separate excerpts from MGM's television series. And yes, Robby is again included.
Not exactly tied directly to FORBIDDEN PLANET, but serves as a great discussion of 1950s sci-fi in general, Watch the Skies! is narrated by Luke Skywalker himself (Mark Hamill) and features folks like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Cameron, and Ridley Scott discussing their favorite 50s sci-fi flicks, its themes and history in the 1950s, the role technology plays in shaping the genre's stories and more. In addition to seeing FORBIDDEN PLANET get some discussion, other films included are DESTINATION MOON, THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN, THEM!, ROCKETSHIP X-M, THE MONOLITH MONSTERS, INVADERS FROM MARS, THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, THE SPACE CHILDREN and WAR OF THE WORLDS.
Amazing! Exploring The Far Reaches Of 'Forbidden Planet' is a half-hour comprehensive documentary on the film with much of the surviving cast and crew providing input, in addition to some sci-fi historians and some of the film's more famous admirers. Also included are shots of conceptual art, test footage, early monster designs, and unobscured shots of the animation used in the film.
As if Robby the Robot wasn't touched on enough, Engineering a Sci-Fi Icon focuses on the guy himself. Featuring some of the same interviewees as Amazing!, this 14-minute piece also features William Malone, a fan of the film and current owner of Robby, who also goes over how Robby functions.
Deleted Scenes and Lost Footage features 13 minutes of deleted scenes left over from filming, as well as 9 minutes of 'lost footage' which translates to cropped effects plates. Deleted scenes amount to trimmed dialogue and an alternate voice for Robby, and a not-so-successful attempt at a special effect.
Lastly, there are trailers for the film and THE INVISIBLE BOY.
Before Star Trek, there was FORBIDDEN PLANET. The influence this film had on the sci-fi genre is undeniable. From the effects to an honestly serious story that doesn't devolve into guys in monster suits carrying off women, but rather a cerebral one, FORBIDDEN PLANET deserved its accolades. If the superbly-restored picture and audio don't entice you, then the wealth of supplements � including a second film � are more than enough to warrant snagging this puppy, even if you already have the Ultimate Collector's Edition.

Public Policy
Citizen Planner
Local Planning Commissioners and Zoning Boards of Appeals are often called upon to make important decisions to guide growth and development of their communities.
Issues surrounding land use planning and regulation, and the tools and techniques available within Michigan to address them have become increasingly complex.
Michigan State University Extension's Citizen Planner Program was developed to address the basic, ongoing training needs of citizens appointed to serve on local land use planning bodies. The statewide program is being made available, in part, by funding support from People and Land. The Program is delivered at the the local level in conjunction with county MSU Extension offices. The Citizen Planner Program's objective is to equip volunteer community leaders with the technical knowledge and leadership skills needed to perform their duties more effectively and responsibly. Macomb County MSU Extension staff worked with a committee of area residents, public officials and professionals to develop a program customized for the Macomb County area.
Certification is given after completion of seven "core" courses and 30 hours of community-oriented service in land use planning or related activities. Community service hours waived for PC, ZBA, municipal council or Board members. Call 586-469-6440 for more information.

The mythical standard
Steven Littlehale
The Jimmo vs. Sebelius case, filed in January 2011 in federal district court in Vermont, has now been settled. The class action lawsuit challenged Medicare's use of an "improvement standard" in determining medical necessity for skilled nursing services and outpatient therapy.
The Jimmo agreement confirms that skilled nursing and therapy services needed to maintain an individual's condition are allowed to be covered by Medicare in a skilled nursing facility, at home, or on an outpatient basis.
The "improvement standard" is mythical in that it does not appear in Medicare statute or regulations. It exists only as a de facto interpretation that has been used by Medicare contractors for years to deny or discontinue care.
What does this mean to skilled nursing providers? Under the settlement, coverage of therapy to perform a maintenance program does not rely on the presence or absence of a beneficiary's potential for improvement, but rather on the beneficiary's need for skilled care. Providers who have been using it or the lack of "improvement" to deny access to skilled services will need to educate staff.
When "improvement" is removed from consideration, providers are left asking if the needs of the beneficiary meet skilled criteria, and require the skills of the licensed professional to safely deliver the service.
Maintenance, as well as the prevention of future decline, is acceptable as a goal, as long as the beneficiary meets skilled care requirements, officials note.
The settlement requires the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to clarify the details in several manuals, and in instructions to FIs, MACs and providers. The usual communication vehicles such as manuals, training calls, Open Door Forum calls and Medlearn Matters will be used, per the settlement.
When all is said and done, providers will once again consider the need for skilled care per the regulations, without worry that lack of progress will result in denial of benefits.

Most of the time we tend to focus on WHAT a business does. We do this because it is how we determine whether we will go to a business to get what we want or what we need. The real trick is to come to know what are the wants and needs of the customer. To align the capabilities of the business with the current and future wants and needs of the customer.
For 66 years we here at RCP Block & Brick have been continually seeking to know what our customers want and what they may want in the future. All one needs to do is look at our product offering today and compare it to the products available 20, 30, or 60 years ago, to realize that RCP has done a pretty good job of having what our customers want. For many years we have believed that our masonry and hardscape patrons want a one-stop-shop.
RCP Block & Brick is uniquely that place. Where else can you go to find virtually all of the numerous kinds of masonry and hardscape products? Block, brick, natural and manmade stone, sand, rock (construction grade and landscape), cement, rebar…..the list goes on. And, it won't stop there. We are passionate about developing and providing products to meet the changing tastes and lifestyles of builders, designers and homeowners alike.
WHAT else does RCP Block & Brick have that adds value to our customers' experience? How about our SIX conveniently located Masonry and Hardscape centers. Our sites are within 20 minutes of most areas throughout San Diego and South Riverside Counties. You can find the same outstanding products and service that we have come to be known for at any of our locations. Whether you're a Pro or a do-it-yourselfer, want us to deliver or you pick it up, RCP has the knowledgeable and helpful staff with a wonderful mix of youth and experience ready to assist you.
Now for the WHY. We have many customers that come to RCP for what we do. We have many customers that come back day after day, week after week, and year after year because of WHY we do WHAT we do. First of all this business is in our blood. RCP Block & Brick is a locally owned family business with 1st, 2nd, 3rd generation owners working alongside other families, mothers and sons, fathers and daughters, that have made up the RCP family for most of its 66 years. Like in so many areas of life, who we are can be highly influenced by our ancestry. Additionally, we all enjoy working together and helping our customers in their quest to build beautiful masonry creations.
Whether it is to be a sustainable company and stand up to the rigors of today's world, there are many reasons WHY we do business in the manner we do. Foremost is our desire that RCP Block & Brick be a valuable resource to its customers. A company that respects its customer, time, hard work, and ability to be profitable. WHY? Because we want our Customers to get what they want. A successful outcome on the projects they embark upon with RCP as their supplier.

Dog Training
What you always wanted was to experience the joy of having and bonding with a dog, and now you've got one! It may be a puppy, or you have adopted an adult dog or rescued one. No matter how the wonderful loving dog enters your world, you are faced with the immediate task of training your dog. You google and research, and you find loads of information and different methods and approaches and conflicting opinions and suggestions. What seemed a simple step forward quickly becomes an overwhelming task in itself.
So, let's look at this world of dog training a bit closer and understand what different approaches exist and what they offer.
There are different methods, and each one has its benefits, effectiveness, usefulness and limitations. The best way to approach dog training is to understand the strengths and areas of application of various methods and then decide which one works well for you and your dog. Partially favouring one method over the other seriously limits one's capacity and capability to bond with your loyal k9 member in your family. The wisdom lies in the ability to use an appropriate method for any given situation to create the desired harmony and well-being while being fair and loving to your dog.
Levels of Mind of A Dog
To understand the different methods of training, it is important to comprehend the subject of the training which is being trained. Yes, its the dog who is being trained but the label "dog" is loosely used to reference the entire aspect of a dog. There are various levels of his or her being, i.e., its Body, Mind and the Life itself.
Body: At the level of Body, the dog belongs to the Animal Kingdom and the Dog family of Species. Also, the Body takes the form of a Male or Female Gender. Also, the Body takes on another level of form, i.e., the Breed aspect of the dog.
Mind: At the level of mind, there are various levels of mind. The deepest level deals with the instinctual, animal and breed aspect of the dog's behaviour. Then comes the subconscious and then the outer mind which is commonly referred to as the conscious mind.
Life: At the level of the deepest core it is life itself. It is the primal force and intelligence that animates and gives life to every life form and is connected to everything else.

Broadly speaking, the training methods that are existing in the dog world can be classified into two categories. These two categories differ in the level of the mind it deals with. The first one largely deals with the conscious and subconscious mind. The other one spans across all levels of mind from conscious, subconscious, breed, dog and animal and instinctual. The methods also differ in the direction of approach that is taken i.e. from inside-out or from outside-in.
Category 1
This method is primarily an outside-in approach. It deals and interacts with the conscious mind to train the subconscious mind. Habits are formed in the subconscious mind by the process of repeating certain activities over and over again in the conscious or outer mind. Here is where clicker, commands, treats, positive reinforcement based training falls in. The approach is to get the attention of the conscious mind through commands, sign language and/or clicker and then follow up with encouragement through a system of rewarding with treats, appreciation, affection, etc. Through the process of repetition, the subconscious mind learns to do the specific activity whenever the
stimulus of command, sign, and reward is given. With this method is that the dog can respond to any human who knows the stimulus that the dog has learned. Here we are effectively conditioning the dog's mind to respond to human ways of interaction.
Category 2
This method is primarily and inside-out approach. It deals with connecting with your dog from within, i.e., instinctual, animal, species – dog, breed, subconscious and conscious mind. The approach is to observe the nature of the deeper mind levels of animal, species – dog and breed, without any human interference and learn how mother nature has programmed it.
We as a human race have created various breeds but we have not created the way the dog lives and behaves. It certainly behaves differently from a cat or a bird. So in acknowledging and appreciating the power and intelligence of mother nature in its beauty and magnificence in producing such loving and intelligent species, we automatically get connected to the deeper levels of the dog's mind. Here is were Behavioural training comes into the picture. The behavioral approach follows the ways of mother nature and creates a primal relationship with your dog based on mutual trust and respect. In this method, the human needs to learn the mind and psychology of a dog and learn to follow the way mother nature has programmed a dog's mind. The dog is not necessarily trained as it already knows the inner program of how to behave like a dog. By following the natural ways of mother nature, the human automatically forms a deep bond with his or her dog.
Comparison between the different categories of training methods
In the evolution cycle, humans are higher up in the life chain compared to our dogs. A human mind has more capabilities compared to other life forms. These enable the human to understand and adopt different methods of communication of other species. The same is not true the other way around. You can condition a dog to understand the behaviour of sitting through the word Sit by the process of repeating the word Sit and associative action of sitting down and rewarding it. But if you use a different language to say sit, the dog will be clueless about the desired behaviour. In contrast, in the behavioural method, the dog will sit out of mutual trust and respect not because of a command, treat or appreciation. It's a powerful and deeper way of connecting through deeper levels of the dog's mind. The advantage of the behavioural method is that it will work even if the dog is distracted by something instinctual like say another dog or cat on the street. The conditioned mind method will fail to work in scenarios where the deeper and more powerful instinctual mind of the dog has taken over. That is why commands or treats sometimes fail when a dog is taken over by its instincts. Conditioned mind approach works beautifully and like a charm if the instinctual, dog, breed level of the mind is calm and not in charge.
Which method should I choose?
So which approach is good and which is better? Well… it depends on what kind of dog you have and your own way of dealing with things. Dogs are born with a certain level of confidence and energy. If you have a mild energy, happy go lucky type of dog, then conditioned mind based approaches will serve your purpose. At the same time, your bond will be primarily at the level of conscious and subconscious mind.
In some cases when the dog is super confident and high energy and some dogs that are not too interested in treats than the behavioral approach will give you the results, you are looking for.
In the end, it's best to bond with your dog at all levels so a blend of all approaches is the best. No method is either good or bad. What is important is properly understand the method and know how to do it correctly and then using the appropriate method which is suitable for a given situation.

The Counselor
by Ealasaid • October 29, 2013 • Movie Reviews and Features
There is a very small group of films which I think are brilliant but never particularly want to see again. "The Counselor" is in that group. It's not a flawless film, but the performances and dialog are incredible, and while it's a cautionary tale at heart, it's never preachy. It's also one of the...Read more →

Thankful for Turkeys
A turkey helped me stay vegan when I was doubting my decision.
I grew up eating animals and loved the flavors and textures. It was a big part of my life – my dad's southern cooking, my mom's midwestern deliciousness: Pork chops, BBQ ribs, scrambled eggs, cheesy casseroles, I loved all of it.
So going vegan at 18 was really hard. It was a phase at first, an experiment, and at a certain point I was feeling like I had to decide if I was going to keep going or if I was going to give it up.
I went to Farm Sanctuary to check in with the animals, since that was who I was doing it all for anyway. There was this rescued turkey there, who ran up to me and let me pet him. He closed his eyes and purred, pushing his head up into my hand, like a cat. After that moment, I never doubted my decision to go vegan, ever again.
Thank you, dear turkey. Here's to a future where Thanksgiving is about gratitude for a good harvest, not about hurting sweet little people like you and all the other animals we humans tend to forget love peace and good food just as much as we do.

Meet the turkeys at Farm Sanctuary, in New York or California, at this year's Celebration for the Turkeys! Or, click here to "adopt" (sponsor) a rescued turkey.

This weekend has been super busy, but fun! I went to a friends birthday party on Friday night and a 90's rap and house music dance party broke out. I love me a good dance party, yo! I had to get up early (ish) for my hair appointment on Saturday. I was in the chair for like 3 hours, while my hair stylist foiled my whole head and re-applied the purple. I love how my hair looks, but I definitely want to go lighter in my next appointment by having her add more blonde pieces to mix in with the brown. Thankfully my next appointment is just before vacation number 1 of 3 this year. So I will have a chance to lighten it before I head to New Orleans.
That day, Jamie and I went to Bonchon for some delicious sushi and fried chicken. I definitely ordered way too much food and only finished like half of my meal. Yikes! We headed out for some drinks and went to the Sebadoh show. The show was really good! Andy and Mark joined us.
The opening band was really strange! So we spent most of their set playing skeeball. Andy was a baller and gave us a wad of one dollar bills so Jamie and I could play skeeball while Mark and Andy played pool. We actually did fairly well!. In between some horrible games, I did get some high scoring ones. We also didn't spend all of Andy's one dollar bills, so I'm sure he appreciated that.
Once Sebadoh came on, we made our way back to the stage area. I'm actually not too familiar with their music. But I downloaded a few albums off my Prime account and kept thinking they sound like Dinosaur Jr. Turns out, Lou Barlow (guy that looks like Cousin It in the pictures) was in Dinosaur Jr. Oh man, I didn't realize how good I am! I took crap-loads of pictures. But I narrowed it down to just a few for your viewing pleasure. I hope everyone else had a really fun weekend too!

About the Blogger
My real name is not Paula. It is a nickname lovingly given to me by co-workers So what's in this Paula? Integrity, honesty, compassion, empathy, and unbridled enthusiasm. I do my best to focus on the positive without being a Pollyanna.
I started to blog after I separated from my now EX-husband. It was therapeutic for me to write – and to receive support from so many people. My purpose in sharing my life is to a) figure my "stuff" out, and b) to help others who are struggling with what life throws at them.
With that said, no one goes through life alone. I have amazing people around me – they are described below.
Supporting Peeps
I will also be including in this blog advice from my dearest friends. All have known me for years and supported me thru thick and thin – helped guide me thru some of the hardest times in my life.
- C-Licious – person I hang out with the most … always offers sound advice and great friendship. She and her family have adopted me …let me hang out with them all the time… Love this chick!
- Unicorns – one of my best friends and greatest travel companion. There is nothing we wont try, at least once.. and everything always sounds like a great idea! She is the one I get into the most "trouble" with…
- FreeBird – One of my most active and endearing friends.. she is an Aries, and is always up to something – sometimes she takes me with her… sometimes she has to leave me at home so I can rest.
- SmartyPants – my friend who has known me the longest in CA .. since 1995.. smartest and funniest girl in the room. she has a beautiful daughter that adores me and I her…I call her HulaHoops because she is my hula hooping, ping pong playing, bike riding, kite flying, craft doing gal pal.
- Feisty Filly – Nothing to do with a horse, everything to do with her heritage (Filipino) and her spirit (watch out people, this lady gets what she wants!!). You want this woman on your side, trust me. She is married to Money – this guy is so cool.. he's soooo Money.
- Leo, my token male friend. I met him back in 2004, when AbFab came to live with me. He helped guide me thru the crazy teenage years, and was, other than my friends, the only support I had (EX had decided to focus on himself). We are still friends, see each other for lunch about once a month, and he/his friendship means the world to me.
- Bitter Betty. First San Francisco friend (we met 16 years ago). We were inseparable until I had a bout with low self-esteem and became a recluse. We have reconnected and its like I never fell off the cliff.
- Spicy. A woman I met while still married, fun as hell… and now a part of my life. She is awesome – so smart, funny, down to earth, coolest chick. My friends love her.. she is fabulous. She has a young son named Little Flirt.. the man came out of the womb knowing how to sweet talk the ladies. He is good… and I'm wrapped around his gorgeous little fingers…. He is just so darling I adore him!!
- AbFab – my niece, the coolest chick I know… I've known her for over 20 years. She has the most darling-est daughters.. Mayonnaise and Shanaynay.
- LilDarlin' is my other niece… so darling, so sweet… so skinny. I swear I'm going to crack her wide open when I giver her one of my hugs (I love to squeeze and shake a kid until they can't stop laughing)..
- My Bubba. My youngest sister's son. I felt connected with him from the day he was born. I would have adopted him IF it had been an option. Love love love love love this smart, fun-loving kid.
Let me know if you have any questions or if I can add any additional insight into who I am and what I'm doing.

You should arrive at the airport to take your flight to Reykjavik where you will be met and transferred to your hotel, during which you are immediately struck by the realisation that Iceland is just different. Lava fields really are commonplace here and the first wisps of steam spout from the stark landscape. We use a variety of centrally located hotels depending on selected departure date.
Today we explore Iceland's delightfully diverse south west shoreline firstly climbing through a remarkable lunar like landscape of multi-coloured lava plateaux, through the Threngli Pass and descending across the sparkling River Olufsa – famous for its excellent salmon. Some of Iceland's prettiest landscapes now lie before you as we pass farms and charming villages set amongst pleasant pastures – keep an eye open for the exceptionally hardy Icelandic horses. To the north you can see Myrdalsjokull and Eyjfjalla Glaciers - the latter famous for its volcano below, which infamously halted Europe's air traffic in 2010. We head for two of Iceland's most spectacular waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss tumbles ribbon-like over a great overhanging lava cliff whilst Skogafoss is one of the country's highest, plunging some 60 metres in an impressive shower of shimmering spray. The natural wonders continue as we approach the imposing wall of ice forming the snout of the immense Solheimajokull Glacier. You may notice a sulphurous hint in the air here, as the waters emanating from the glacier here are called "Stinking River" due to the sulphurous acid content absorbed from the hot geothermal rocks beneath your feet. Next we travel to Reynisfjara, close to Iceland's southernmost point, to see the famous black-sand beach. Depending on the time of the year, you may be lucky enough to spot the renowned Atlantic puffin colonies.
After a breakfast we experience something completely different, departing the old harbour seeking arguably the planets most graceful creatures, whales and dolphins, with statistically a 93% success rate of successful sightings. Heading seaward you catch a glimpse of the snowy volcanic peak of Snaefellsnes which inspired Jules Verne's novel, 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'. Tension mounts though as you strain your eyes in a communal search for that first heart stopping sighting of the ocean's greatest mammals. Depending on conditions and with luck you may see grand Humpbacks and spectacular Killer Whales, but more normally delightful Minkes. Dolphins are prevalent too and there is nothing quite like that moment when a first fin is spotted, the first 'blow' is seen or a giant of the ocean astonishingly breaks the surface in front of your eyes. Dependant on conditions, there is another wildlife treat in store. Countless endearing puffins nest on the many islands here and hurtling around the waters and cliffs entertain themselves as much as you in a remarkable display of colour and aquabatics. Early afternoon we have a sightseeing tour of Reykjavik situated around its natural harbour on a fjord. An intimate city its centre is devoid of soulless sky scrapers but full of tiny streets and squares lined with traditional shops and clapper-board houses where locals still have time to greet each other in the street and chat. Dominating the skyline is the impressive Hallgrimskirkja church – Iceland's largest, its extraordinary bell tower inspired by the shapes of cooling lava columns. You will see the monument to the explorer Leif Eriksson whose discovery of America pre-dates that of Columbus by around 500 years. Plus there is the house where Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev historically first met in 1986 which momentously resulted in the first steps ultimately leading to the ending of the Cold War. Nearby is the modern day home of the Althingi, the world's oldest parliament. The fishing harbour is a fascinating quarter, redolent of timeless scenes as weatherbeaten trawlermen returned with the hard won fruits of nature. Perhaps one of Reykjavik's most remarkable features is that the entire city like all Iceland, is heated using geothermal energy directly from the depths of the earth via a remarkable network of pipes. Even the pavements are connected keeping them ice free in the winter! To end our day we visit an Icelandic icon, the Blue Lagoon, should you wish you can take a bathing experience you will never forget. Volcanic rocks hide a wonderland of steaming, mineral-rich waters, geothermally heated to a constant 38c deg in a stunning setting. The immensely soothing softness and wonderful natural warmth of the grey blue lake are something even non swimmers will treasure. The beneficial effects of the waters are renowned, it's an experience you'll never forget

Nos ha encantado ir al apartamento lo que deverian avisar del estado en el que estan las escaleras, aun asi nos lo hemos pasado genial, estaba muy limpio y la anfitriona ha sido super amable
Good location, the area is very nice and quiet. There is also a more animated quarter very close.
The appartment is clean and pleasant. Nice welcome by the host, Eline.
We had a lovely stay at Eline's apartment and Eline is a fantastic host. The apartment was exceptionally clean and very well equipped. The location was perfect, no noise at night. It was very easy to get to from the train station. If you don't fancy the walk take tram number 2 or 5 for two stops then its about a 10 minute walk.We enjoyed our stay and the city very much and I would certainly recommend for anyone visiting Amsterdam.

I love fast cars and faster women…. lol
I've been/was a graphic designer for over 20yrs maybe 25 …. after I was laid off I had tons of time on my hands… but also had plenty of hobbies to keep me busy, at the time I flying RC aircraft… so I turned it into a business, I built a CNC machine to make parts for Multirotor copters (drones)… this was kinda an easy transition because of knowing how the design software worked, and have a friend thats a machinist that help on the machine end… since then china has taken over and that business is lacking to say the least… during that time I came across some stuff about people using a Raspberry PI in the RC world… so searching info. I seen someone use a PI for a 80's mame machine… so I had to build one , so I built a bartop machine… doing research on this…. I seen my first VP Machine… then I found FP… started collecting games and after a while I seen how the graphics were inserted into the game, and said… humm… this is no different than any other design work… then had to build a pin cab …. which only ran FP at first, talking to people I was convinced to install VP, (what a nightmare compared to FP)… after lots of videos and reading I finally understood how it all worked… so my VP table collection started overriding my FP tables…. and again seen how VP used its graphics… so author for me is a very loose term… I barely understand any of the code, I get by if I need to change some stuff here and there… I'm no coder tho at all… I can't stress that enough… so that's the progression of how i got here… recently I started working on a full size hyperspin machine, so here we go again… lost,… thought it would be no different then the pin cab and the PI machine, boy was I wrong… so more trying to learn all this new BS….. so blah blah blah…. that my story…. sorry for the rambling if anyone made it this far without falling asleep…. ;)October 28, 2015 at 11:57 am #2094
Well I will say your tables look great! Really like the scooby kiss mod and the pumpkin Ryan table! Explains why the look so nice with graphic design in your background! Vp needs more of these "original" types of tables.

INNOVATION, we love the way it sounds, love the meaning behind it, but most of all we love the impact that innovation brings to this world and better yet to the industry we're all so uniquely tied to… the auction industry.
One of the greatest truths about the industry is that auctions bring people together. At Proxibid we believe innovation in the auction industry isn't about getting rid of that sense of community, rather it's all about bringing in a new generation of people. That starts by improving and adding to an already fun way to buy and sell.
This video is a piece we created for the 2013 NAA conference, highlighting some of Proxibid's key innovations.
Footage features our company as well as auction companies that we work with including TNT Auction, Roller Auctions & Auction Solutions.

|RARE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS BANNER OF THE 1910-1920's ERA, MADE OF SATIN SILK WITH STRONG COLOR AND ATTRACTIVE LETTERING
|Web ID:
|In Stock
|Frame Size (H x L):
|46.75" x 30"
|Flag Size (H x L):
|37" x 19.75"
|Like the men that they represent, antique Marine Corps textiles and are both few in number and highly revered. Across the 4 major branches of the service that existed until following WWII (U.S. involvement 1941-45), examples relating to the Marine Corps are by far the scarcest.
Most of what is seen in patriotic cloth, meaning pennants, banners, flags, pillow covers, etc., is, in fact, non-branch specific. Most were made to honor soldiers, to raise money for the war drive, to welcome men and women home after a tour of duty, or to decorate halls and parade routes. When branch-specific objects are encountered, they are typically found in the form of pennants with generic reference, i.e, text that simply reads "U.S. Army," or that commemorates the respective military academy, or some other location, such as a fort or ship. Then there are son-in-service banners, hung in the window of a family, a business, or an organization, when family members, friends or employees went off to war. These sometimes list the branch, and are sometimes specific to a role within it, such as "U.S. Army Air Corps," or "Medical," or "Serving in the Waves."
This United States Marine Corps banner is unique in my experience. Made of yellow cotton sateen and vertical in its orientation, the large, scarlet red letters form "USMC" on a left-to right diagonal. Note their attractive style with fanciful serifs. Produced in the WWI era (U.S. involvement 1917-18), there is an open sleeve along the top edge, through which a rod could be inserted for display, and a long gold fringe at along the bottom, made of twisted silk floss with decorative trim. Due to the lustrous sheen of the fabric, the saturated colors, and the interesting font, the presentation is especially fine.
Not only is this the first example that I have encountered in this style, it also happens to be the only generic Marine Corps banner of this scale, of any kind, that I ever recall seeing from this era, despite long experience with early flags and textiles. Banners for all branches of the service are unusual until the end of WWII and after, and those made for the USMC are scarce in any period.
Construction: Made of satin silk with machine-sewn binding, printed lettering, and a twisted silk fringe along the lower edge.
Mounting: The flag was mounted and framed in our own conservation department, which is led by masters degree trained staff. We take great care in the mounting and preservation of flags and have framed thousands of examples. Feel free to contact us for more details.
The black-painted, hand-gilded and distressed molding is Italian. The glazing is U.V. protective acrylic (Plexiglas).
Condition: There is extremely minor foxing and staining, but the over condition is excellent.

VAN NUYS, Calif. -- Icon Brands has been substantially purchased by the newly formed Venture Capital group, Icon Capital Group Holdings, a Delaware LLC.
Jim Carson, a spokesman for ICGH, said, "we were extremely impressed at how quickly Icon was able to ramp up and do substantial numbers. They were able to turn the 20-year-old Falcon brand into a powerhouse line in less than a year, with the sharpest re-packaging and re-marketing effort we've ever seen in the category."
Carson added, "We also like what Icon did in the fashion/fetish space with its beautiful 'Fashionistas' line, and we're impressed with their Eat/Play/Love edibles and Velvet Plush silicone; we think it's a broad-based product range that's a great platform to grow from."
Icon had released more than 250 SKUs at the time of the sale, in little more than two years of shipping. The company's sales team, Joanie Lee and Jenny Tse, will remain in place, as will its award-winning design and product development team. Some licenses will be replaced and major announcements will be made before the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo in July, the group indicated. But now it has made it a top priority to replenish the stock on items that had sold through during the transition.
The National Sales Manager Joanie Lee said, "These changes are never as fast and smooth as you'd like, but the new finance team has been excellent, and we're very excited about the possibilities ahead."
All contact numbers remain the same for the Icon offices and sales team, in addition to the firm's Van Nuys address.

Name: MAC Hug Me Lipstick
Price: £13.50
Where : MAC counters, Online
MAC Hug Me is a creamy hue of pale pink, almost flesh coloured. I use this colour when I have dark eyeshadow on to make the look stand out a little more. Try MAC Nehru (review here) or MAC Beauty Marked (review here) if you want to stick with with the MAC brand.
I think this colour is also very wearable by day with minimal make up for that light look too. It does not make you look washed out, as some pale pinks do. One of my favourite lippies for sure, especially on my nude days.
Get it here online if you can't pop by to the MAC shop

What the hell am I watching?
When the bells are ringing, the choir is belting, and the title finally makes its grand entrance, aren't you thinking this is going to be the best movie ever? I don't know; I thought the animation at times paralleled The Lion King's epic opening set, but it really does go to waste in this one. You go from that annoying puppeteer narrator dressed in bright purple and yellow tights to… a chilling winter night chase in which a deformed baby nearly plummets down a well after the murder of his mother. And it would be okay if this sort of tone is revisited like once or twice later, but this movie is just all over the place trying to pass as a kid's movie—it is a scary story.
In case you aren't quite convinced… a priest talks the villain who killed the deformed baby's mother into raising Quasimodo ("half-formed"…) as his own son in order to repent for his sin… Quasimodo is raised to believe he is a monster and slave… Quasimodo's first interaction with the town ends with him being tied down and spun around while being hammered with tomatoes and eggs… Frollo does some ethnic cleansing in the same manner as Hitler… Frollo through a song called Hellfire expresses his lust for a gypsy whose entire race he is trying to extinguish WHAT!?! This is all in a singular family film? Oh, wait, I'm not done?
Esmeralda, the gypsy Frollo finds sexually attractive, kisses Quasimodo only to fall in love with a knight in shining armor (talk about a love triangle, err, square)… Phoebus, the knight in shining armor, gets pierced with an arrow and almost bleeds to death… Frollo doesn't get his way with Esmeralda and starts burning down all of Paris… Frollo uses Quasimodo to find the gypsy's hiding spot only to later try to stab him to death… Frollo falls into bed of lava and… yeah, do you get my point?
It's a mess. It jumps around so erratically trying to be a kid's movie in one scene and then a serious adult movie in the next. I enjoyed the serious adult stuff (at times) but the kid stuff was so out of place and annoying. Like, imagine if The Matrix had a random musical number in the middle of it where all the characters sing and dance… what in the world? This movie had to make up its mind, was it going to be a kid's movie or was it going to be an adult's? Based on all indications, it seems to me that Disney had a family film in mind and so I will critique according: this is not a kid's movie!!! And even with a movie-for-the-parents mentality, it's still not that good because of those darn annoying gargoyles.
Quasimodo is a serviceable character. Plus, he's designed very well. Sure he's deformed, but I would totally buy a stuffed version of him at the store for someone's Christmas present. I will have to complain that just because Quasimodo is physically deformed does not mean he needs to have a sub-par voice, but it's pretty minor compared to other complaints I have for this film. Quasimodo works because at his roots, he is like an Ariel or a Belle who wants something more than what has been offered to them. And quite frankly, Quasimodo makes those princesses seem spoiled because all Quasimodo wants to have is the freedom to join the people, the town of Notre Dame, instead of being trapped inside a bell tower. He's a really down-to-earth kind of guy who wants nothing but what's fair and right, but you can't help to be more sympathetic rather than admired by Quasimodo.
Bringing it all together
There's a part of me that wants to appreciate the film for pushing the definition of a kid's movie, but it pushes too far in the process of doing so. After the critical failure of Pocahontas, the gloomy and depressing story of The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo wasn't probably where Disney should have gone to rebound. Instead, it just falls flat on its face getting confused by what sort of a movie it wanted to be in the first place.
The message is pretty deep. It covers a lot of mature topics such as praying, genocide, hell, minority groups, sin, gypsies, physical deformities, outcasts, mob mentality, and the church. Before re-watching this film, I was excited because I honestly forgot almost everything about the film. Now I know why… I probably didn't understand any of it, was terrified by it, and pushed it aside for the better Disney classics. In other words, the message is just too deep for kids under thirteen to get, and I don't know how this managed to sneak away with a G rating.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame has its moments when you open your mouth in awe and when your heart shakes in turmoil. The choir in this movie is just superb and it sets the tone of its scenes perfectly. However, this daunting tone is revisited much too frequently for it to be considered a kid's movie and even when treating this as an adult movie, it has kid moments in it which are really distracting. This is Disney's last high-end animation of the Disney renaissance and unfortunately, it puts the animation in front of everything else.

It was a beautiful day, almost Indian Summer like, even though it was still early for the eminent Fall. We were in central Ohio visiting my Mother-In-Law at her new residence. A three story Victorian-esque manor complete with a turret , gables and a wrap-around porch lined with crisp white spindled rockers. After strolling (more like rolling) back from our over sized lunch that satisfied our every sense, we stopped short of the door to pull-up a rocker and sit for a moment to admire the surroundings and the day. The sun had been shining and some clouds were moving in as predicted, but only to add to the dramatic fall skyline and contrasting colorful canvas where flowers were still in bloom and the grass still a vibrant green soft carpet leading up to the porch. The birds were busy feeding on seed from the nearby bird feeder banging off the side of the house. All at once there was a whoosh of ornithological activity when I spotted a pigeon perched on the edge of the steeply pitched roof line. Soon after another joined it, followed by more where they sat together looking at us, we looking at them, mimicking each other.
It wasn't until the following day that my husband shared an interesting story with me. He told me how his Father kept homing pigeons as a boy while living in Pittsburgh, PA. Periodically, his parents would take him and his pigeons out into the country to release the birds in free flight. The birds were often reported to be home before they arrived, hence the saying "straight as the crow flies", or as in this case, "pigeon". I believe he kept pigeons for many years, watching and learning from their behavior and interactions with the world. I suspect the pigeons that appeared spontaneously on Z's rooftop that day were also carrying a message, watching over loved ones like guardians.

|Why choose 'Parisian Blue' Limestone – Sandblasted?
|'Parisian Blue' Limestone provides a cool luxurious tone and finish with natural variation from tile to tile. The cool blues and greys are popular with current colour trends. Being a limestone tile you will see veins which are also an inherent property of this natural stone tile. Natural colour and texture variations hide marks like dirt and leaves. It is cool underfoot and offers moderate slip resistance. It is accurately sized and is easy to lay. It is a relatively soft stone so it is susceptible to scratching with hard items such as furniture.
|Requires sealing with a penetrating sealer to make cleaning easier. Use a pH neutral cleaner such as detergent and avoid acids in cleaning. Seal with a highlighting sealer to darken and
increase contrast.
|Relative Pricing
|Mid range – higher than grey granite, concrete and sandstone. Parisian Blue offers great value for money for anup-market look.
|Stocked Tile Sizes
|400 x 400 x 20mm; 600 x 400 x 20mm; 600 x 600 x 20mm
|Stocked Matching Pieces
|Coping Profiles - Bullnose and Square edge, Drop Face, Grande, Skimmer Lids. Availability: Standard sizes listed are usually available ex-stock.
|Custom Orders
|Choose your own sizes, pattern, profile and surface finish - allow 8-10 weeks from order
|Slip Rating (Wet Pendulum)
|A P5 (V) pendulum classification, (AS 4586) "New surfaces" is the highest wet pendulum classification available under the current standards. For pool surrounds, a minimum of P4 is required.
Disclaimer:Due to the colour variations inherent in natural stone, care should be taken when laying your tiles. It is recommended that tiles/pavers from all crates should be blended as the job proceeds. Both thickness and dimensions may vary up to +/- 2mm. Therefore, tiles may have to be graded accordingly.

Minister of Nation Defence Harjit Sajjan is caught littering from his personal car.
Who is Sajjan? He is a Canadian Liberal politician, the current Minister of National Defence and a Member of Parliament representing the riding of Vancouver South. He is the first Sikh to become Minister of Defence. Sajjan was first elected during the 2015 federal election, defeating Conservative incumbent MP Wai Young, and was sworn as defence minister into the Cabinet, headed by Justin Trudeau, on November 4, 2015. Before politics, Sajjan was a detective investigating gangs for the Vancouver Police Department and a regimental commander in the Canadian Armed Forces decorated for his service in Afghanistan. Sajjan was also the first Sikh-Canadian to command a Canadian Army reserve regiment. (Wikipedia)
